Capitalising on nature’s superpowers to create circular low-carbon alternatives.
At MATERIACT, we create materials that make the most of nature’s exceptional superpowers and reuse existing resources – that’s why our products showcase biomass (like hemp), as well as recycled plastic. As you read, our teams are hard at work transforming natural fibres into high-performance, low-carbon compounds and surface materials.
Regulations are tightening, expectations are rising. Across Europe and beyond, legislation is pushing industries to rethink their impact — and materials are right at the center of that shift. In mobility and other key sectors, one question is on everyone’s mind: how can we design sustainability into the very core of our products? Bio-based materials offer part of the answer. They’re renewable, traceable, and increasingly high-performance — but most importantly, they challenge the way we think about innovation and responsibility.
At MATERI’ACT, we believe that materials can be a powerful lever for change. Here’s how we’re turning that belief into action.
在最近举行的迈极瑞现场活动中，与会者们提出了这一问题，并对其进行了深入探讨和创新性的思考。该活动是佛瑞亚“瑞蓝效应”（The Blue Effect）计划的一部分，目的在于加快并突显集团在可持续发展方面所做的工作。 在迈极瑞财务与战略总监Felix Alby先生的主持下，本次现场活动提供了一个深入了解公司起源、愿景及产品的宝贵机会，并全面展示了公司在降低汽车材料对环境影响方面的积极作为。活动内容涵盖了从助力佛瑞亚实现净零排放目标，到再生与生物基复合材料的创新配方，以及跨产业链合作等多个方面。 迈极瑞团队专家和合作伙伴小组分享了他们的见解（从内部视角）： 迈极瑞总裁Elise Moreau女士 威立雅固体废物市场及客户总监兼塑料回收副总裁Benoit Perreau先生 迈极瑞化合物产品线总监Xavier Pailloux先生 迈极瑞北美总经理Leo Mazurek先生 立即观看 …
高标准的再生塑料含量目标，是汽车行业迈向循环经济的关键。这将有效衔接汽车设计与报废车辆回收处理环节，并驱动市场对循环利用及低碳材料的需求。来自废弃物管理与回收行业、汽车供应商及非政府组织的代表联合呼吁，敦促欧盟立法者坚守欧盟委员会报废车辆指令（ELVR）1提案中制定的高标准。 签署者呼吁欧盟政策制定者： 坚定落实新车须含25%再生塑料的目标 : 新车再生塑料含量应达到25%，且必须来源于消费后废旧塑料。同时，针对报废汽车塑料，设定了25%的闭环回收利用目标。这些目标与行业内表现优异的原始设备制造商（OEM）已达成的水平相符。正如欧盟委员会联合研究中心（JRC）2所论证的，此项目标在成本效益上实现了最优平衡，既能有效避免成本过度攀升和材料供应短缺的风险，又可为制造商的生产规划提供明确的指导。事实上，一些行业领军企业已率先达到了更高的水平。维持既定的再生塑料含量目标，是实现ELVR提案中30%塑料回收率目标的必要基础。 加速法规实施，以扭转现有状况 : 尽管在再生塑料领域取得了一定进展，但当前原生塑料价格持续走低，同时进口量不断增加，导致再生塑料的市场需求依然疲软。为了扭转这种状况，并促进回收产业的即时投资与产能扩张，我们呼吁制定再生塑料含量的目标，并确保其在法规生效后48个月内开始执行。为此可采取两种策略：一是提前实施25%的再生塑料含量强制标准；二是设定48个月中期目标，同时确保在法规生效后的72个月内，全面实现25%的目标。 目标计算应仅纳入消费后废旧塑料 : 若将工业后废旧塑料纳入25%再生塑料含量的计算范畴，将会削弱提升报废汽车塑料回收利用率的努力，也会阻碍材料的循环利用。相较于消费者产生的废弃物（消费后废弃物），工业生产废弃物（工业生产后或消费前废弃物）通常较容易转化为纯净的回收颗粒，若将之纳入考量，则难以衡量再生塑料含量目标对环境保护产生的实质性贡献。在目标计算中优先纳入消费后废旧塑料，将有助于推动报废车辆（ELV）回收企业加大投资力度，拓展业务规模。 确保对创新和回收产能扩张的投资稳定性 : 稳定规划对于实现汽车生产的循环经济模式和去碳化至关重要。为鼓励对研发、创新及回收产能的投资，我们呼吁政策制定者：避免降低既定目标，同时不增加可能导致市场波动、阻碍关键投资的修订或豁免条款。 1…
Biomass has already made our materials stronger, lighter and lower carbon. We’re currently hunting high and low for ways to add more natural fibres – and integrate new bio-sources.
Our signature bio-based compound – where plant power meets performance.
An ultra-low carbon, high-performance biocomposite combining hemp-based biomass and 100% recycled polypropylene for structural applications.
NAFILean Vision makes the biomass and natural fibres at its heart visible with different grains, colours and textures. Ideal for demanding designers looking for low-carbon, high-aesthetic materials for visible structural applications.
using agricultural by-products keeps waste down and promotes circular practices.
bio-based compounds are strong, durable and lightweight – and meet tough industry standards
each different kind of biomass brings unique characteristics – perfect for tailored materials across a whole host of applications.
Hemp is a super crop with remarkable properties for the environment, from carbon sequestration to low water requirements, as well as contributing to healthy soil. Its fibres are also pretty handy in materials, as they’re strong, light and durable.
At MATERI’ACT, our story began with hemp. We teamed up with local agricultural cooperative Interval, through our joint venture APM, to source hemp fibres to develop our very first product, NAFILean, for high-rigidity structural parts. Since then, our NAFILean product family has continued to grow with a starring role for hemp.
Low environmental impact. Low CO2 emissions. Low weight.
For high performance.
We carefully select our sourcing partners. We also meticulously check and process all our biomass feedstock to ensure quality, consistency and performance – with a little help from AI to adjust formulations in real-time during production. All the while prioritising traceability and quality control across the supply chain to ensure each material meets exacting industry standards – while also contributing to the kind of world we want.
Pineapple leaves are a by-product from fruit cultivation, which would otherwise go to waste or be burnt (adding more CO2 to the atmosphere). The fibres are incredibly flexible and contribute to unique textures for sleek yet functional materials. Through our partnership with ANANAS ANAM, we’ve started integrating pineapple leaf fibres into our surface materials, like Pinatex. And there are more materials on their way.
Materials made from biomass don’t have to be boring or ugly. Despite what some say. Using different kinds of biomass, we can create distinctive aesthetics AND meet specific technical requirements. Our NAFILean Vision range is living proof.
